    has US had any rockets break apart after launch, creating a cloud of space junk, or is it just the chinese?

  2. The article writer is an American. We probably need Indian or African articles to confirm.

  3. Space.com confirms satellites deployed, upper stage disintegrated after creating over 300 trackable pieces of debris.
